"Yoga is the art of getting rid of borders. Do not cut yourself from the Infinite by too narrow ideas.” BKS Iyengar
Mats, bricks, belts, chairs, blankets, wall ropes, and more. We have B.K.S. Iyengar to thank for the props we see used in yoga studios throughout the world. He developed them to enable everyone -- regardless of physical condition -- to practice yoga. But he quickly discovered that even more advanced practitioners could benefit from them. Props are regularly used to bring freedom where there is stiffness and intelligence where there is dullness. They give the student a sense of direction and what is possible. Essentially, they help us develop higher levels of sensitivity that make transformation possible.
